Grant Collins brings old-school, downhill linebacker grit to Montana State
Grant Collins is a Bozeman native and longtime Montana State linebacker who stands out for toughness, versatility, and playmaking in big moments. In 2018, he was listed at 6-4, 240 pounds and was the incumbent at the Buck linebacker spot, with the ability to slide into linebacker roles as needed[4]. His profile is built around physicality and persistence—after battling injuries earlier in his career, he still led the Bobcats’ defense with impact plays, including 12 tackles and two forced fumbles in the 2018 Cat-Griz win[11]. If you want a rugged, experienced, high-motor defender who shows up in rivalry games, Collins is the kind of guy you want on your side[4][11].
